The Ecclesiastical Province of Manila will hold a Congress of the Clergy on November 17, 2009 at the SMX Convention Center, MOA, Pasay City. The Congress is a pre-event of the Second National Congress of the Clergy set on January 25-29, 2010, at the World Trade Center, where more than 5,000 priests from all over the Philippines and even some countries in Asia, are expected to attend.
The provincial congress will gather priests from the Archdiocese of Manila and its suffragans of nine dioceses, two Apostolic Vicariates and the Military Ordinariate. The Dioceses are Antipolo, Cubao, Imus, Kalookan, Malolos, Novaliches, Parañaque, Pasig, San Pablo. The Apostolic Vicariates are Puerto Princesa and Taytay in Palawan.
The theme of the congress follows the theme of the Year for Priests (June 2009 to June 2010) as declared by the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI, “Faithfulness of Christ, Faithfulness of Priests.”
Diocese of Imus Bishop Luis Antonio Tagle will lead in the “Disposition Reflection on the Theme in Preparation for the Second National Congress of the Clergy.”
Manila Archbishop Gaudencio B. Cardinal Rosales will preside at the closing Mass of the one-day Congress.
